Judy, Her first litter was a piece of cake for her. Her labor started at 2 PM and she had her first puppy at 6:15 PM. This one appears to be totally different.
I am asking about the size of the litter because I have read that with large litters the uterus can be stretched and the bitch doesn't have the muscles to begin labor. Have you found this to be true? Thanks for your advice. carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Judith Gates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2002 6:19 PM Subject: Re: [CKCS-L] Seven Puppies > on 7/11/02 5:39 AM, Floyd & Carolyn Adams at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > I just wondered what your experiences had been with a bitch having 7 puppies. > > Have you found that they can whelp that many puppies without problems?
